Line-Ups

Works for me too Thinsy... a Must Do Drill!
I also like to mix it up for a change and find this drill a bit more challenging than the straight
lineup to get desired cueball shape with more opportunity to use the cushions for position.
The "working space" being enclosed and smaller requires more accurate tolerances on weight control.
Even slightly off draw, stun or roll can result in having to practice awkward cueing over top of a ball or
taking on more challenging side pocket pots. This is a good thing as these are shots we seldom practice.

I call this the "Selby Drill" as I first saw it done on this video.

Before i finished reading your comments I looked at the set up you had laid out here and thought to myself 'I remember seeing Mark Selby practicing this 18 months ago before the Premier League final'

Its obviously something he likes to do a lot

Good man thinsy!

I did that drill today happy to get a 112.
Monday it was 98.
On days like this my long-standing relationship with snooker is more love than hate!
